Both with this, and with Andy's nose thing, I just can't imagine those were the best takes they could get. Sorta weird for such a high quality show, and it bothers me just a hint. (in which we learn that Dids would probably be super hated by the cast and crew of his hypothetical TV show).
I think the very existence of Michael Scott, especially the craptacular way he was written in the later seasons, is doing this show no favors. Leslie's storyline basically does all the work the Office never did in terms of giving the character reasons to be crazy- and the other characters reasons to tolerate that crazy. I think it's all pretty well done, but it feels stale because the other show did it way worse first.
I do think they're in danger of going to that well too often, and the next few eps would be better served to dial down the Leslie crazy.
